I've been playing with different screen savers and it seems to only do
that with the 'matrix' screensaver.

Got it! I was following the same procedure that I had to for 7.0-2 but
when I reconfigured my mouse (mousedrake) and took the imwheel copy out
of my autostart folder, it started working.
Same problem with numlock; for some reason, when I installed 7.1b, it
put a copy of enable_X11_numlock in my autostart folder which was
actually killing my numlock in X. Took that out of the autostart folder
and now numlock stays on in KDE.
